Mechanic Needed.

[Phil Ladman]

Hello Everyone...glad to be back as a member of CAT. I just purchased a 1966 Mk IA and looking for a great mechanic in San Diego. Preferably in North County but anywhere will do. Thanks for your help.

Sure is shiny and only a bit personalized. Smitty & John are south of Ya down on K street. I met a couple more In the SD area but can't recall locations or names at the moment.

There's some guys in Escondido plus a very trustworthy guy in Fallbrook, but he's a fabricator first. Looks great what could be needing attention ? I'm in the Fallbrook area a lot .

Smitty is Mr. Sunbeam to San Diego but that makes him awfully busy. On K street around 30th.

It's been sitting for a few years. Brakes. Oil change. Speedo, Oil gauges don't work. Rear running lights not working. Hopefully all minor.

Electrics will likely be grounds ( earths) pull the tail lights and check the point where the screws touch.. Using some spire nuts to allow them to bite through paint helps... Or run a seperate earth pigtail wire to a bolt.

Oil gauge not working is odd.. Maybe lightly tap gauge as needle may be stuck.. Its a pressure line feeding oil to gauge.. So nothing really to stop it working.

Speedo might be bound cable....not sitting into drive at back of speedo properly... Loose at trans... All easy checks

Did you buy the Brunk Tiger? Always liked that one...
